Languages

Languages are only available in the Web version of Deacom and when using WMS.

Used in conjunction with Captions, Languages offer the option to display fields and forms in different languages for specific Users. In addition to traditional natural languages such as English, Spanish, Chinese or French, languages may be used to encompass different industry-specific terms. For example, a company involved in servicing HVAC units, may refer to a Sales Order as a service order and configure many of the fields on the Sales Order Entry form to support the concept of servicing a heating or air conditioning unit as opposed to selling products.

Once languages are created, they are assigned to individual users via > System > Maintenance > Users. Users will need to log out and back into the application to have the language assignment take effect.

The Customer and Vendor master records contain a "Language" field, which allows specific languages to be set for these records. When documents are printed for orders/transactions whose Customers/Vendors contains these languages, this language will be used in place of others set up in the system and for the appropriate users. This is useful in situations where captions on documents for Vendors or Customers will be different than the language assigned to specific users.
